Abstract
The compound [Fe(bipym)(3)](CF3SO3)(2) (in which bipym = 2,2 ' -bipyrimidin e) crystallizes in the space group P2(1)/c, with a = 13.7641(11), b = 18.75 57(19), c = 12.3627(11) Angstrom, beta = 103.085(8)degrees and Z = 4. The l ow-spin Fe(II) atom is octahedrally surrounded by six nitrogen atoms of thr ee bipyrimidine groups with Fe-N distances that vary from 1.968(4) to 1.975 (4) Angstrom. In the far-infrared region the Fe-N vibrations are observed a t 359 and 372 cm(-1).
